Zaouli The Zaouli designates both this mask and the traditional dance that accompanies it among the Gouros, in the center-west of Côte d'Ivoire. This dance of rejoicing is considered as one of the most gemous of the country and makes it possible to increase the productivity of the village. This mask was the favorite of the Founding President, Felix Houphouet Boigny. It has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018.

The panther man This dress, which immerses the fur of the big cats, is worn during the Boloye, traditional ritual dance of the Senufos, an ethnic group of northern Côte d'Ivoire. Formerly practiced at funerals, today is a dance of rejoicing that would also bring down the rain.
